Assignment Type

There are different types of assignments

Offline activity - this is useful when the assignment is performed outside
of Moodle. Students can see a description of the assignment, but can't upload files or anything.
Teachers can grade all students though, and students will see notifications of their grades.

Upload a single file - this type of assignment allows all students to upload a
single file, of any type. This might be a Word processor document, or an image, a
zipped web site, or anything you ask them to submit. Teachers can grade submitted
assignments online.
